Beautiful home

We had a absolute blast here. The kids had so much fun. We had days where they just wanted to stay and play at the house. We will definitely return and this will be our place. The basket of treats and cookies was amazing and we felt very welcome.

Very impressed with our stay at this location. Beyond everything being clean and orderly upon arrival, the host also provided extra goodies for my whole party. They were very flexible, adjusted to our schedule, and answered all our questions within a quick timeline. I would 100% stay here again!

Just what we wanted!

We booked this as a relaxing work retreat/team building weekend. It was perfect! The location is just fabulous with the river literally right off the back deck. We enjoyed the walking trails and the great coffee shop/bakery across the street. The house was lovely and gave each family their own space but the living room and game room were such great communal areas! Will likely stay there again!

Family weekend

The property was very nice and easy to get to. The bedrooms were perfect size. The view from the deck is beautiful. The only issues we ran into were the picnic table broke and a family member fell from it. Upon further inspection, the table was separating on all of the seats already and was not stable. The latch on the gate was also broken. Over all it is a beautiful home with Many amenities and a beautiful view. A little bakery is right across the creek and is yummy! We would highly recommend this home

Outstanding Property!

This house is perfect for a large group of people. It rained every afternoon during the trip so that was a perfect time for ping pong tournaments downstairs. The hosts truly go above and beyond to make your stay welcoming. The house was also spotless when we arrived. Rocky Mountain National Park is well within walking distance for hikes. Also, a free Estes Park shuttle stops very close to the house so you don’t have to drive into town and search for parking. The river is right beside the house, giving you a beautiful view. We loved our stay here and can’t wait to stay again.

Great Location for Family

We loved staying at the Koenig Lodge in Aspen Brook. It is right on the river and has easy access into Rocky Mountain National Park. The house had lots of room for our 3 generations of Family. The older kids especially enjoyed the bunk room and the game areas. We definitely recommend this excellent home!

Spacious house with good location close to Rocky Mountain NP.

This huge, beautiful house was perfect for our family of 15. It was clean, the beds were comfortable, and we enjoyed the upper balcony over the roaring river below. It is located close to the Beaver Meadows Entrance to Rocky Mountain NP. We went hiking 3 days in a row. So many wonderful memories were created during our stay here. We highly recommend to other families.

Wonderful AspenBrook Lodge

This lovely lodge right on the big Thompson River was so perfect for our big family. The kitchen is well stocked with appliances, the beds are many and good, the games are plentiful and throwing rocks into the river could entertain tiny ones for days! We could not have asked for better accommodations. Management was perfect to work with and we appreciated that. highly recommend this house to others with large families. FB

Family time. 5 adults and 7 grand children

Clean, well taken care of. The host was great. The running river by the house was so peaceful. Three deer walked right up to the house eating grass. Beautiful setting. Foosball, arcade and ping pong were lots of fun in the basement. We took full advantage of the Rocky Mountain YMCA just 1/2 mile away. Very close to all the great things to do in Estes Park.

Awesome property

Huge cabin with lots of rooms and bathrooms for big groups. I had 14 people in my group and we were all very comfortable. The game room is awesome for kids, and backed up to the river is great for fly fishing! Very quiet neighborhood and very peaceful. Plenty of room for parking unless you have several big trucks. Only bad thing was downstairs fridge didn’t really work and no ice makers worked. Overall it was a great stay!

About the host

Hosted by Robyne Huebner

Host profile image
Originally from Nebraska, members of our family have been traveling to Estes Park since the 1930's. Having made stays at the Baldpate Inn an annual occurrence for more than twenty years, our own dream was to someday have a place on the same river that our grandpa stayed on 80 years ago. When the chance to buy this amazing home came up last fall, that dream finally became a reality - and is one that we're excited to share with other families from around the globe!

Why they chose this property

We really wanted a place that families could connect - whether fishing together, hanging out by the river together, heading out on hikes together, or just relaxing in a comfortable Great Room by the fire or in the game room for a little competitive bonding. This home has it all - and its close proximity to both the YMCA of the Rockies, downtown Estes Park, AND Rocky Mountain National Park really make it an ideal place for families to connect or reconnect.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location. When people come to Estes Park, they want to experience all that the Colorado Rockies have to offer...and that's what makes Koenig Lodge such a ideal place. First, if a river location is important to you because you want to drink a cup of coffee in the morning next to the water or drop a line to catch the next great rainbow, then Koenig Lodge is definitely the spot. The lodge literally sits right on the Big Thompson River and offers all the sights and sounds you'd hope for in a home on the water.

Recently updated, Koenig Lodge is wheelchair accessible and fire sprinkler protected - a unique feature among the larger rental homes in Estes Park. The lodge is also located on the outskirts so you don't feel like you're in the middle of the hustle and bustle of town. It is literally 1/2 mile from the YMCA of the Rockies on Hwy 66 and only a mile or so away from a Rocky Mountain National Park hike-in location.
